Wow, sorry to hear that bro. You have been having some **** luck with your phone.

Ironically, I don't think it's uncommon. 9/10 people I know have no problems with their 5, but my one friend who started with one problem phone- has had many problems at this point- if that makes sense.

Oh I'm jumping ship. My contact is up this October but I honestly may just buy out and go droid

- In my BB's calendar in day or week view, if there was a calendar entry earlier or later than the hours displayed on the screen, a little arrow would be at the top or bottom to indicate there was an unseen item. That way my dumbass would know to scroll up or down. There doesn't seem to be such an indicator in the iPhone calendar and that seems so easy and important it's hard to believe it's not available. Is there a setting or preference I can turn on for that?

- The BB had a light on the front/top that I could set to blink if there was a msg, missed call, whatever. If I'm out of the room for 30 minutes, and walk back in, I could tell from across the room if there was something I needed to look at. How do you guys handle that with the iPhone?

Been great other then that. It's just the speaker for the speaker phone and Siri. Probably my fault honestly. It sits in my dusty baseball bag during practice everyday. This one is way more scratched up anyway haha

Don't go droid (or galaxy). What carrier are you on? If GSM, just buy a Nexus 4 outright for $299.

I like the galaxy s3 though. Gf has one and I've tinkered with it quite a bit

TIA for tips from the grizzled vets.

No there is not a light. You can set alerts to "wake" the screen a certain number of times, maybe that could function as a substitute.
